The Flower of Canaan
Available from Histria Books, Simon & Schuster, Barnes and Nobel, and Amazon
It’s the 13th century BCE in the ancient land of Canaan ….
Anat, a young beauty groomed for sale, then sold to a cruel man, ultimately rebels against the belief that women are men’s slaves. When her idealistic and naïve young friend David cannot marry her, he wanders Canaan in a vain search for an equal to her beauty. Fate carries the pair on separate paths across the Levant on journeys that ultimately transform them.
Set in a time and place where many of our current beliefs and values were shaped, their tales strike at enduring prejudices about women and demonstrate the power of the individual spirit to overcome them.
The Flower of Canaan is an epic tale of the search for love and compassion, both of which the world needs now more than ever.
Says Kate Farrell, author of The Fairy Tale Heroine: Live and Write Her Journey, available for preorder:
“It is a vulgar, plundering time of upheaval that Flood brings to life with an evocative, subtle, archaic language—its poetry in contrast to the raw realities of a predatory culture. How each character transcends the ethos of primitive superstition and primal survival is the main conflict of this adventuring narrative. As Anat explores the aspects of feminine beauty and power to learn wisdom, she speaks to us across the ages with meaningful relevance today. With an amazing cast of characters, read Anat’s story to be transported and inspired!”
